Privacy on the Internet

     Today in BBT class we read a short graphic novel called "Social Smarts". The novel showed many issues about online safety and, along with the importance of passwords and thinking before you post. For example, someone took a picture of someone dancing and posted online. by the next day, there were memes and gifs of said photo made, and many pictures were posted throughout the school. Also, someone lost there phone and got hacked, because they didn't have a password on their phone.
You should always think before you post, and have better passwords than "1234" or "4321".

Everyday Privacy

      We also read an article called "My Privacy Everyday" today, and it surprised me. Almost everything we do in our lives leaved a digital footprint,  whether it be stopping by the local cafe for coffee, or playing in a basketball game, there will always be records of what you've done throughout the day. Security cameras recorded your every move in the cafe, and people may have taken photos of you making a jump shot in basketball. All that leaves a digital footprint, letting people know about your life. checking in lets people know where you are/have been, giving away private information

Emerging Technologies and Automobiles

Technologies in Development      I think that each of the six emerging technologies will happen, but I think that some will take longer than others. I think that will EV Extravaganza will take longer to happen, as electric cars are expensive, as well as the cost of charging them. I think the development of flying cars will have the biggest impact on society, as people have been working on creating one since 1907.  I think that the first technology to be used will be Ford's Workload Estimator/ Biometric Scanner. as people have already made similar designs to try and reduce the number of  accidents.  When it comes to flying cars, I think they would be a huge benefit to society, as emergency personal could get onto the scene quicker, and wouldn't have to swap vehicles. The down side of this, however, is that if a criminal was using this vehicle to escape, they would be able to travel on both land and air, making it harder for the authorities to pursue them. W...
